Planting Guides

Check for your last frost date and plant after this has passed. Choose a
spot on your property that gets 6 or more hours of direct sun a day unless you are planting seeds for shade.

Prepare your soil by clearing the area of all existing growth. Simply dig up everything that is growing, turn the soil and rake the area flat. If this is an area that has never before been gardened, you may need to till the area up to remove growth.

Mix the seeds with sand* for better visibility and scatter the seeds directly on top of the soil. If you are sowing a larger area, we recommend using a seed spreader; if not, you can sow by hand.

We recommend lightly compressing the seeds into the soil, making sure not to bury them. You can either walk on them, use a board or if you are sowing a larger area, rent a seed roller.

Water so that the soil is moist, not soaking wet, until the seedlings are about 4-6" tall. After that, the seedlings will survive on natural rains. If you are experiencing very dry weather, we recommend watering occasionally.

Comments about High Country Gardens Partial Shade Wildflower Seed Mix:

Newbie black thumb here. I have a Bermuda Rectangle at the back of my yard where nothing has ever grown, by myself or previous owners. I cleared off the oak leaf cover, mixed these with sand and scattered kind of willy nilly. I have a virtual carpet of little seedlings! That spot really does only get a few hours of sun (will get less in summer), so product is true to its description. Will update this review in Spring.
